FC Barcelona, after the exit of Lionel Messi, needed a great striker in their squad. The club tried several players at the striker position, and in 2022, they got Pierre Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal. Well, the deal turned out to be one of the best deals for Barcelona. They rarely lost a match when he played, and he was the star of the team on multiple occasions.
Sadly, his journey with Barcelona came to an end within months. Looking back on his journey with Barcelona, he recently made a statement.
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang said:
“I didn’t want to leave Barcelona, but I had to.”
Not only this but a few weeks ago, Aubameyang said:
“I think I had the best six months of my career with Barcelona. I have never enjoyed playing and going to training so much.”

We all know that Barcelona is going through a financial crisis. Similarly, at that time, transferring Aubameyang helped them restore some losses.
But we know Barcelona felt complete when they had Aubameyang in the squad. Even if we look at their squad now, they have missed out on scoring goals on several occasions. If he were a part of the club, things would have been better for himself and the club.
Aubameyang’s performance with Barcelona has been magical. He made 25 appearances for the club and scored 14 goals with an assist. Most importantly, he played a major role in Barcelona winning the 2022 La Liga.
